Star Trek, habitable planets and a bit of singing

As Star Trek celebrates its 40th anniversary (yay!), this story about how common habitable/possibly life-supporting planets may be, seems particularly appropriate. :)

"Earth-like planets orbiting other stars may be far more common than had once been thought, a study suggests.
Because of the way we currently look for planets around other stars, most that have been detected so far have been gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn.
But one third of these giant planet systems may also harbour worlds like our own, according to an analysis by scientists in the US."

Good, eh?

I'm a blogger, dammit...
